Low-calorie things to dip in hummus?
I LOVE hummus. I don't know about you guys, but I think its amazing stuff. I just hate it that the only thing I can think of to dip in it is tortillas. While the hummus I buy (and I think hummus in general) is low calorie, tortillas are not, and I could go through three or four tortillas in a snacking session. What should…

This Hippie Is One DANG Good-Looking work in Progress
It takes a lot for me to call myself good looking. I joined MFP in June, 2011, at 233 pounds. I'm still only on my way down to my goal weight, but the change has been so tremendous...and just putting these before and during photos together has inspired me to do so much more for myself. I WILL Lose the rest of this!…

Calling All Coffee Lovers/Addicts!
I propose a strike. Yes I know, you're all gasping and wondering what on earth you would do without your coffee/espresso. Well, here's the thing... My story goes like this: I drink espresso a LOT. Not to wake up, just because it tastes good. I spend money and calories on 2 16oz drinks almost every day during the school…

I prepped my pan with some water, shallots, red onion, green onion and garlic cloves (let that simmer for about ten minutes). THEN I dumped in my raw…

I was so proud of myself today.
So, this is a non-scale victory, but I went to a buffet today that my family and I frequent when we go to Omaha, Nebraska for my dad's checkups. Before starting MFP, I could make up to 5 trips to the buffet/wok combination, but today I only made 2 trips and most of what I ate was vegetables! Very low calorie, and super…

Hey Guys! I have a question. Very Important.
So, here's the down-low. I have an xbox 360 Kinect, and I use the game Dance Central for aerobics. Its been really good and I'm enjoying it. As long as I have been doing it I've put it intp the MFP system as Aerobics, General. That's worked for me. However, I recently discovered that my game has a workout mode!…

The SnackMonster
Got a question. My biggest evil is snacking. I can do great with calories on all my meals, but in a manner of hours I have snacked more than I realized and suddenly I'm over on my calories! Its so frustrating. Does anyone have recommendations of low-calorie snacks that satisfy the SnackMonster? I do have those little 100…

What's your daily exercise routine?
Hello all! I was just wondering what everyone's daily exercise routine was. What did it take to get you to this point? What works for you? What doesn't work for you? Give me the deets! :) My daily routine is 45-60 minutes of Dance Central on my Xbox 360 Kinect, and 3 times a week I do 45 minutes of water aerobics in the…

Hola, Aloha, Ni Hao, Shalom, Ohayoou, Heisann, Hello. :)

I'm a nineteen year old hippie girl with a fresh outlook on life. I love to live…
